Welcome the spooky season with a horror movie premiere Friday, Oct. 20.
“Voice of Shadows,” a horror film shot at the Thompson House Bed and Breakfast in Lanesboro, Minn., will be shown at 7 p.m., at St. Mane Theatre in Lanesboro.
Director Nick Bain described the film as “a story about cults, faith and trying to get ahead from a working class position. It’s technically a horror film, but more of a psychological thriller with some scares.”
The Thompson House, owned by Marti and David Gray, was exactly the kind of epic Victorian setting Bain was looking for. The 1870s brick Italianate home is host to about 70 percent of the film, which also features shots of landscape and roadways surrounding Lanesboro.
In the film, Gabriel (Guillermo Blanco), a working-class man, finds himself trying to prevent his traumatic past from repeating when his girlfriend, Emma (Corrinne Mica), inherits a seemingly-haunted estate from her great-aunt Milda (Jane Hammill). While living there with Gabriel’s sister Celeste (María José Vargas Agudelo), they must abide by a bizarre set of rules. It soon becomes clear – with strange and supernatural occurrences – that someone or something does not want Gabriel in the house.
The movie also stars Bee Vang as Father James, Martin Harris as Ernesto and Michael Paul Levin as Father John. Viewers may also recognize frequent Commonweal Theatre cast member, Betti Battocletti, as Mrs. Birdie.
